SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-373/96007(DRP) & 50-374/96007(DRP)

AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION

Dear Mr. Subalusky:

From June 23 through August 2, 1996, the NRC performed an integrated team

inspection at your LaSalle facility. The enclosed report presents the results

of that inspection.

'

)

Based on the results of this inspection, the NRC has determined that three

violations of NRC requirements occurred. These violations are cited in the

enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice) and the circumstances surrounding them

are described in detail in the subject inspection report.

)

One violation involved an event in June 1996 which illustrated that previous

corrective actions had not been fully effective. The event involved a main

]

steam isolation valve closure and reactor scram.

NRC is concerned that a

similar event occurred in 1994, and a problem identification form initiated in

March 1995 outlined a procedural weakness which contributed to the most recent

)

event; however, ne'ther resulted in broad enough corrective actions to prevent

the June event. ihe two other violations occurred in the fire protection area

and in conduct of Technical Specification surveillances. The consequences of

these events were less significant.

You are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions

specified in the enclosed Notice when preparing your response.

In your

response, you should document the specific actions taken and any additional

actions you plan to prevent recurrence.

Your response may reference or

.

include previous docketed correspondence, if the correspondence adequately

'

addresses the required response. After reviewing your response to this

Notice, including your proposed corrective actions ed the results of future

inspections, the NRC will determine whether further Nk0 enforcement action is

i

necessary to ensure compliance with NRC regulatory requimments.
